So I am building a huge mancave in the basement with a bar that will fit 10-12 people. Needless to say, it will be a big bar...
Behind the bar I want to put a Kegerator converted from a chest freezer on the back wall with 4 taps. The idea is to build a counter top on the lid and hide the freezer behind a set of counter high doors. It would then blend right into the counter top on the back wall.
The big kicker is the custom taps I want to build. I want to mount 4 5L oak barrles on top and have faucets coming out of the heads (one faucet per barrel). The barrels are 10" long, 8 1/4" diameter, and 7" diameter head. I think this would be relatively easy (famous last words...), just mount the barrels, drill through the bottoms and feed the lines through to a shank on the head of the barrel. I have been searching and searching and haven't found anyone that has done this yet...
Any ideas? Pointers? Thoughts? Problems? Has anyone tried this yet?
